Abstract
The polar organic 2-(alpha-methylbenzylamino)-5-nitropyridine crystal
(MBANP) has been studied by Raman spectroscopy at low temperatures (from
300 to 10 K). The effect of temperature change on the vibrational
spectrum is discussed with the aid of DFT calculations. The behavior of
the Raman spectra indicates that MBANP molecules present a different
conformation at low temperatures associated with the rotation of the
phenyl and pyridine rings. Temperature -dependent X-ray measurements and
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis were utilized as
complementary techniques to investigate the structural stability of
MBANP crystal. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
